An adjudicator has delayed a decision on whether to delay a disciplinary hearing for three city police officers under the Police Services Act.
It is for how they handled the Thunder Bay death of 41-year-old Stacy DeBungee in 2015.
The lawyer for the DeBungee family Julian Falconer wants a delay so the coroner’s office can conduct its own investigation into the death.
“The DeBungee case is the poster child of all that went wrong and now we have to make it right. So respectfully they ought not to get a pass, we need to allow the process to do its job,” said Falconer as part of a virtual three hour Thunder Bay Police Services Hearing into the matter.
The Thunder Bay Police Service wants the hearing to be held as soon as possible.
